Again, there are after market sprays into the vent and even some chemicals you can put directly in the A/C refrigerant system to clean it out direct from there.
Anti mildew clorox MAY/WOULD work, dont know if it would damage anything in the vents - plastic or rubber. anyone know?

Someone on the FX forum swabbed it, sent it to a lab and found some toxic mold. He had kids, so he sold the car. I guess he cared more for his kids than the car.
You mean OZIUM...pretty good damn stuff if you hit dat 420.

I posted this problem over a year ago..... since then I've been using the "fresh air" insead of recirculate and it has helped. Also if its possible I roll down the windows or open the sun roof to try and keep from choking.

My Accord had the same problem a while ago and I sprayed lysol into the air ducts on the windshield. The smell never came back after that.

Haven't tried it on the G yet, but I'm going to real soon.
